[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain what residential or institutional treatment is for this type of situation??  My mother has had scizoaffective disorder since I was a teenager. All I ever knew about were psychiatric wards of hospitals for generally short days--between a few days to a few weeks--and nursing homes for psych patients on Medicaid. The conditions are deplorable and there is nothing there therapeutic except meds. Generally private payment costs tens of thousands of dollars until all assets are spent and you go on Medicaid. Then hospitals will only admit if they have Medicaid beds available. Otherwise you're SOL.

What are these residential programs OP, how much do they cost roughly, and how easy are they to access?  [/quote]

Most residential treatment facilities are very nice places. The staff makes sure that the residents/patients have no access or ability to cut or hurt themselves or drink alcohol or do drugs. Menninger Clinic is one example. [/quote]
